What does Order fulfilment mean?
Order fulfilment is the process of delivering the agreed product or service after the relevant order steps are completed. It is distinct from receiving an enquiry or recording payment.
Why it matters
For account-based services, fulfilment can include applying the correct term, providing the relevant private account information and giving a suitable setup route. Keep the selected plan and actual delivery record aligned. If a renewal is intended, identify the existing account explicitly. Do not mark the order complete merely because a payment arrived or a generic automated message was sent.

Recording the resulting expiry and handover reference lets both parties check the outcome without repeating the whole purchase conversation when a later question arises.
